I have an automatic feeder for my kitties. It is based on time, my cats are not impressed by the extra hour they needed to wait.

This is really cool, I have never heard of dual actuator drives before.

I just ordered 6 16TB drives to upgrade my 8 4TB drives.

My server doesn't have any more room for expansion.

My Question is what is the best way to replace the 8 4TB drive with the new 6 16TB drives?

I was thinking of setting up a secondary server put the 6 16TB drives in that and copy the data over. Then just remove the 8 4TB pool and swap the drives around then add the 6 6TB pool.

However I am guessing this method might screw up my shares and settings I have on the existing pool.

Any ideas? Thanks

How do you handle Proxmox clusters when you only have 1 or 2 servers?

I technically have 3 servers but I keep one offline because I don't need it 24/7 most point wasting power on a server I don't need.

I believe I read somewhere that you can force Proxmox it to a lower number but it isn't recommended. Has anyone done this and if so have you run into any issues with this?

My main issue is I want my VM to start no matter what. For example I had a power outage. When the servers came back online instead of starting they waited for the quorum number to reach 3. (it will never reach 3 because the third server wasn't turn on.) so they just waited forever until I got home and ran
